"Be cautious, you must be cautious, today's task is related to the future survival of the organization, everyone must cheer up the spirit, understand?"

Zhou Budo chuckled, and said with some sarcasm in a light and light manner

"It's just a small faction, Captain, do you need to make such a fuss? It's just such a small faction that doesn't have much reputation. I can overthrow them single-handedly. ”

After the man glared at Zhou Budo, Zhou Budo rolled his eyes, he didn't feel that what he said was wrong, he pursed his lips, and still did his own thing.

Forget it, no matter what this kid is, this kid's identity is also strange and mysterious, he has made countless feats in less than half a year after joining the organization, and even the leader looks at him differently, and it is estimated that there should be two brushes.

This time, the opponent, the man actually didn't take anything seriously in his heart, it was just a habit that he had developed all year round, so that he didn't treat any enemy so contemptuously.

This kid's words are a bit arrogant.

After looking at the dozen or so people behind him and sorting out the equipment on their bodies, the man and Zhou Budo glanced at each other and nodded to each other, and then the man made a gesture and bent forward and walked forward quietly.

"It's a little eerie here."

didn't go far, Zhou Budo felt bursts of cold air around his body, this unusual cold, so that Zhou Budo couldn't help but rub his hands a few times, sighed, and whispered

"This hellish place, even if it's gloomy, why is it still so cold."

At this time, the location of these dozen people was the entrance of a cave, and looking at the seemingly endless darkness in the depths of the cave, and the cold currents coming out of the cave, Zhou Budo and a few people couldn't help but shiver.

After the man lit the torch, he looked up at the sky, frowned, and then lowered his head and whispered to these people, "Now should be the time, after entering the cave, three people with a torch, slow down your pace, pay attention to any wind and grass around you, remember, after entering the cave, act in groups of three, and meet here before the time, whether the mission is successful or not, you know?" ”

Zhou Budo nodded absentmindedly and snorted.

The man didn't have much to say to Zhou Budo, so he immediately held the torch in his left hand and walked into the cave carefully.

Zhou Budo wiped his nose, handed the torch in his hand to a woman behind him, and quietly entered the cave like a ghost.

Zhou Budo this trio, the remaining two are a woman and a guy who can't see the gender, and the three of them are the last group to enter among the dozen or so.

After entering the cave, before he took a few steps, Zhou Budo felt that what his eyes saw was only a black curtain, if it weren't for the faint fire behind him, Zhou Budo even felt that he was no different from a blind man now, and after coming in, Zhou Budo obviously felt that the temperature inside was much lower than that of the cave entrance.

The three of them hadn't walked for long, Zhou Budo felt frost on his hair, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed his hair, after noticing the abnormality, Zhou Budo frowned, and then stopped.

Seeing that Zhou Budo stopped, the woman with the torch was a little puzzled and asked

"What's wrong?"

"Something isn't right."

"What's wrong?"

The guy who is neither male nor female even has a hoarse voice, and in the dark cave, this guy only has a pair of eyes that can be vaguely seen by Zhou Budo.

Zhou Budo flicked the water droplets made of frost on his hand, poked his palm to the ground, grabbed a handful of dirt and stones, and kneaded it on the palm a few times, Zhou Budo's brows furrowed even tighter.

"The temperature inside this cave is incredibly cold, but the ground can feel a little warm, which is a bit unbelievable."

Hearing Zhou Budo say this, the two of them also grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, and after feeling the warmth in their palms, they both sensed this suspicion.

"It should be some other reason, don't doubt the childe, don't think about it so much, let's hurry up and keep up with the captain and their team."

After thinking about it for a while, the woman gave up thinking and gave this answer.

But after the woman said this, Zhou Budo's face was reflected in the firelight.

"The other thing that makes me feel wrong is that after entering this cave, I can't detect the breath of any one except the three of us, no, I can't sense the breath of any living thing, including, look ahead."

Zhou Budo pointed his finger to the front of their path.

It was a flash of fire, it looked similar to their firelight, and the firelight had been in front of them since Zhou Budo and the three of them entered the cave, and Zhou Budo had always thought that this was the torch made by the group in the team that entered in front of them, but now that they have stayed in place for so long, the firelight is still beating in front of them, without the slightest change, this scene, as if it was deliberately waiting for them.

But the important thing is, how would they know that the three of them were right behind them?

After entering this cave, there were six roads, and Zhou Budo saw that there were several groups of figures on the other five roads, so they picked the remaining road.

It stands to reason that they can't be sure that there is someone behind them.

"Torches? Is there anything wrong with that? ”

The guy who was neither male nor female didn't realize that there was anything wrong, and he was even thinking in his heart about how arrogant this young man was when he was at the entrance of the cave, and how he became like a frightened bird after entering the cave.

After being silent for a long time, the woman finally saw that something was wrong, her eyes widened, and she was about to scream, but Zhou Budo hurriedly reached out and blocked her mouth.

After seeing the woman's situation calm down, Zhou Budo put down his palm, clapped his hands, and said to the woman

"How? See? ”

The woman nodded frantically like a chick.

At this time, only the guy who was neither male nor female was left in the dark and didn't see anything.

"Do you think the people in front will know that there is someone behind them? And, will they be sure, the person behind is a teammate? ”

Zhou Budo saw that this guy hadn't reacted yet, and said it directly in a cold tone.

So, this guy who is neither male nor female subconsciously gasped.

"Looking at the brightness of the firelight, it is only about one hundred and fifty steps away from us, we have stopped here for so long, and the brightness of the firelight has not changed in the slightest, now do you think, the fire in front of us, right?"

Zhou Budo's complexion at this time had long since disappeared from the frivolity he had just outside, and was replaced by a somewhat pale complexion.

"You, you mean, the one in front is not our people?"

This guy, who is neither male nor female, became vigilant at this time and clenched the weapon in his hand.

However, for this question, Zhou Budo shook his head, and then said

"No, I think, the one in front shouldn't be human."

"What?"

Fortunately, Zhou Budo reacted quickly, and as soon as the woman exclaimed, Zhou Budo hurriedly threw the two to the ground and quickly extinguished the torch.

Pressing the two of them down under him, Zhou Budo spread out his robe behind his back to cover his exposed body, which can be regarded as hidden in this dark scene.

And after a few breaths, there were several footsteps in Zhou Budo's ears.

But then, the footsteps became more and more noisy, and after arriving, Zhou Budo's ears couldn't tell how many footsteps were walking around him on this road.

At this point, the two guys also followed Zhou Budo, and the three of them held their breath, because the noisy footsteps around them were getting clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, a sound like thunder came from Zhou Budo's ears, after this loud noise came out, Zhou Budo felt as if his ears were deaf in the next second, as for the other two, the situation at this time was not much different from Zhou Budo.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Budo's ears gradually regained their hearing, and after hearing no sound next to him, Zhou Budo carefully lifted the foot of the robe with his hand, but after lifting the corner, what caught Zhou Budo's sight was a pair of blood-colored eyes.

Zhou Budo was so frightened that he lifted his robe and threw it at the eyes, and then hurriedly helped up the two people who were pressed down by himself.

When he pulled up the two of them, Zhou Budo pulled out the dagger on his waist and stabbed it in that direction.

However, when he stabbed into the depths, Zhou Budo only felt a numbness in his arm.

Cautiously reached out and touched the thing the dagger had stabbed.

This touch is a stone wall.

Zhou Budo picked up the extinguished torch, lit it again with the fire fold in his arms, and used the fire light to shine on the place where his robe was lost.

After picking up the caftan, the bottom one is empty.

Handing the torch to the woman, Zhou Budo pulled out the dagger, sat on the ground with his back against the stone wall, lowered his voice and panted, while panting, Zhou Budo asked the two people

"Did you two just see a pair of eyes?"

The two of them shook their heads desperately, the two of them didn't even dare to breathe just now, not only did they hold their breath, they both closed their eyes tightly.

Zhou Budo put a hand on his head and shook his head, thinking that he should have seen it wrong.

However, as soon as the palm of his hand touched his hair, Zhou Budo only noticed that his fingertips seemed to have touched something sticky.

Reaching out to the tip of his nose and sniffing, Zhou Budo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

This is, the smell of blood.

Zhou Budo subconsciously touched his whole body, but he didn't feel any wounds, and then looked at the two of them, and was about to ask, only to see the guy who was neither male nor female pointing to the distance, and said with a trembling voice

"Fire, the fire is gone."

Zhou Budo and the woman hurriedly looked into the distance.

Indeed, after the three of them got up again, the fire that had been in front of the three of them had now disappeared, and all the three of them could see was the never-ending darkness.

Zhou Budo came back to his senses, and was about to say blood, when suddenly he felt a different sensation on his fingertips, kneaded it again, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed.

Water?

Is this frosted water?

What about blood?

How did that sticky blood turn into water droplets?

Zhou Budo put his hands on his face, he was now confused by this kind of scene in front of him, obviously, obviously he just smelled the smell of blood, but now why did it turn into water droplets again?

The blood-colored eyes are like this, and the current droplets are also like this, self, what's wrong with you?

"Don't doubt Childe, we, have we just walked past us?"

The woman's voice also became a little frightened, God knows that she is a female demon who kills people without blinking, and in just a few moments after entering this cave, she has become the weaker woman she is today.

"Absolutely not, just now, just now, the footsteps just now, definitely not human footsteps, no, absolutely not."

This time, before Zhou Budo could speak, the guy who was neither male nor female spoke first and said in a trembling tone

"I, I can hear it, the footsteps are not human footsteps, you, you believe me, my hearing is first-class in the organization, including the loud noise behind me, I can't hear what those sounds are coming from, in short, in short, I can be sure that those voices are definitely not human!"

Zhou Budo looked up at this guy, and seeing that his legs were trembling now, Zhou Budo sighed secretly.

Yes, he could also hear that those noisy footsteps were not from people.

"It's better to do this, let's get out of place now, anyway, the captain said, we have to return to the cave before the time to gather, now, now, wait, now time."

The guy who is neither male nor female stops at this.

Zhou Budo suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly got up and walked to this guy, grabbed this guy's shoulders with both hands, forcibly stabilized his expression, and asked in a low voice

"Is there something wrong with the current time?"

Before entering the cave, each three-person team was divided into torches and fire folds and a gadget to measure time, Zhou Budo's group, the torch was in the woman's hand, the fire fold was in Zhou Budo's place, and the gadget to measure time was in the hands of this guy who was neither male nor female.

The guy took the gadget out and put it in the fire.

The reflection of the firelight on this gadget above the time.

What's the hour?!

After seeing the time, the trio all panicked, even Zhou Budo, who had been stabilizing his demeanor, was a little pale at this time.

This gadget has never gone wrong.

But if they were three moments old, it meant that they had entered the cave a moment before this mission?

They, they were in the right place to enter the cave, but now the time is three o'clock.

This place is not to stay for long!

Zhou Budo nodded at the two, and the three of them turned around and were about to walk back.

However, as soon as they turned around, the three of them only saw that not far ahead, there was a flickering fire.

Unlike the firelight just now, this one was clearly moving closer to them.

The three of them turned around again, and on the other side of the road, that is, on the road they had been on, the light of fire reappeared.
